In other words, you can still log in as other users after booting DSL, for example by using the su command.
The frugal system is designed around the user dsl. This includes myDSL, backup/restore, persistent home, and (i think) some scripts that utilize the sudo command. It is possible to modify a frugal DSL, without remastering, to allow a login prompt rather than having user dsl automatically logged in. I have no experience doing this with additional users, though, so I'm not going to go into detail. I can't see any logical reason why one would want to bother logging in as another regular user in frugal, to be honest with you, apart from just wanting a [hearts]special[/hearts] user name. If you're thinking about a multiuser setup, you should probably consider a traditional install, or a different distro. Frugal DSL isn't the most secure thing available when it comes to multiple people accessing the same machine.
